Survey Opportunity: Obtaining Funding — Current Practices, Challenges, and Successes

Feedback due Thursday, October 31, 2024

Funding has been cited as a challenge for providers, including Area Agencies on Aging and local service providers. Iowa State University is completing a study to better understand current funding practices, including common funding sources and challenges. The survey is anonymous and will be used by the Nutrition and Aging Resource Center to provide more relevant and useful resources related to funding.

As an organization part of the aging network, please complete this ~20-minute survey, by October 31. We ask that only one survey be completed per organization, so you can fill it out as a team if needed. You may begin, stop, and return to the survey at any point using this link to finish (as long as you’re using the same device).

Please feel free to share this survey with your colleagues. Don’t hesitate to contact Savannah Schultz at schultzz@iastate.edu if you have any questions or concerns about this survey.

A recent blog post from Kari Benson, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Aging

"Today, ACL and our partners in the aging services network join communities across the country in observing Ageism Awareness Day. We honor and celebrate many important observances here at ACL, but this one is especially important to me as assistant secretary for aging. Raising awareness of ageism and stopping its spread is vital to our advocacy efforts, the success of the programs and services we fund, and the health and well-being of all of us."
